Chapter 7: Seeking her love Part B
Ryanna grinned slightly as she rubbed the material of her costume. She remembered that night all too well: The dancing, the scenery, and his luscious kiss. She traced her lips with her fore finger and thumb replaying that image. How she longed to be kissed by him again. "Hope you find me soon Trunks."
"YOU COULDN'T HAVE THE DECENCY TO TELL ME THAT YOU KNEW WHO SHE WAS!" "I'm sorry it slipped my mind!" Trunks groaned angrily and flopped onto his bed. "Now I know her name but I don't know where to find her!" Bra frowned and placed a hand on her chin. Suddenly she smirked. "I know someone who does."
Pan finished the last of her chores and was about to head up stairs to rest. The doorbell rang and she froze. Walking to the door it revealed a smirking Bra and a pissed off Trunks. "Oh hey guys what's up?" "No time for chitchat girl, Trunks is having a major meltdown." "Oh over your mysterious girlfriend I bet." "Well she ain't exactly a mystery anymore." Pan gawked and glared at Bra. "YOU MEAN YOU TOLD HIM!" "It just slipped out." "What does it matter, why are you guys keeping her from me anyway?"
Pan and Bra both bit their lip. "Let's just say that her family isn't exactly nice to her or anyone she co-eds with." Trunks growled. "I DON'T CARE! I WANT TO SEE HER NOW!" Both girls took a step back, intimidated by the furious Trunks Briefs. "Okay, okay, sheesh! I'll take you to her house, but remember you've been warned and it ain't gonna be pretty."
Marron twirled around in her new outfit modeling it for Ryanna. "Do you think David will like it?" Ryanna nodded. "I don't see why not, everyone else seems to like it." "Well all I can say is that if Trunks can't see how beautiful I am than he's not worthy enough to have me." She sat on Ryanna's vanity desk and brushed her hair. "Maybe he doesn't want beauty. Maybe he just wants someone to understands him better." Marron slammed the brush down and glared at Ryanna. Ryanna just cocked her head to the side and popped a bubble from her gum.
"Are you saying I'm not nice enough?" "Well..." Marron snarled and got up. She walked over to Ryanna's bed, where Ryanna was sitting, and was about to slap her until the doorbell rang. Marron sighed and glared at her stepsister. "Don't leave this room, cause I ain't finished with you yet." She then turned to the door, slammed it shut, and locked it." She rushed down the stairs and opened the door. She gawked at who it was...
"TRUNKS!!!" She engulfed him in a hug, but Trunks tried to push her off of him. "Um Marron, now really isn't the time to be flirting with Trunks. We're here to see Ryanna." Marron let go of Trunks and gave Pan a death glare. She had been beaten once, and she wasn't about to loose again without a fight. "She's not here." Pan mimicked her glare. "Don't give me that crap. She IS here! Stop being a jealous bitch and tell us where she is!"
While the two girls bitched at each other Trunks backed up not wanting to get involved. He just wanted to find Ryanna, his love, and go home. Ryanna had heard the commotion and stuck her head out the window. She spotted Pan and Marron practically bitch-slapping each other and not too far away from them was Trunks... wait a minute TRUNKS! Ryanna gawked at him. What was he doing here? She pulled herself as much as she could out the window and whispered out to the lilac hair colored man. "Psst! Trunks!"
Trunks furrowed his eyebrows and his eyes searched around having them stop at Ryanna's stretched figure. He smiled and carefully slunk up to the side of the house where a big willow tree stood by Ryanna's window. Ryanna smirked at him. "Oh Romeo, oh Romeo, has thou come to save me Romeo?" Trunks grinned and climbed up the willow tree. "My dear Juliet I have looked for thee so long." As soon as he was within arms reach of her he engulfed her into a monster hug and pulled himself into her window. "What are you doing here?"
Trunks rubbed his hand against her cheek and smiled blissfully at her. "I came looking for you. Ryanna blushed slightly and closed her eyes at his touch. Trunks reached into his Jacket pocket and pulled out the white mask. "I believe this belongs to you. Ryanna had an emotionless face on. She took the mask and traced it with her fingers. "So you finally figured it out" Trunks nodded. Ryanna then smiled. "Well dang boy, it took you long enough!" Trunks' grin widened and he held her tightly in his arms. "I love you Ryanna."
Trunks felt the softness of her cheek with the back of his hand. "I love you too." As their heads leaned in their lips were about to touch but s high-pitched shriek interrupted them. "It was you!" It was Marron, her hair was disheveled and mascara leaked from her now bloodshot eyes. "You didn't stay home! You were at that party and you took Trunks away from me!" Trunks rolled his eyes. "I don't like you anyway Marron. Even if Ryanna wasn't at the party I wouldn't like you. You're too self centered!" "SELF-CENTERED!" "Not to mention loud, obnoxious, spoiled, and arrogant!" "Arrogant! You wanna see arrogant!" She walked up to Ryanna and slapped her. "That's arrogant!" "HEY!"
Ryanna had turned her face but didn't flinch. She was used to getting hit. Before Krillen showed up Eighteen and Marron used to hit her for every little mess up. "What is going on here?!" Eighteen and Krillen popped their heads in. "Mom, Ryanna was at the party. She was that tramp that stole Trunks away from me!" Eighteen glared at Ryanna but was evened by one of Ryanna's own. Trunks frowned and wrapped his arms around Ryanna. "I love your daughter Mrs. Chestnut." Eighteen growled. "That thing," she pointed to Ryanna," is not my daughter." Ryanna then smirked. "Then I guess I have no business here. I'll take my belongings and leave your lovely home."
Krillen smiled at her earning a glare from his wife. "You, Ryanna Coutsa'n, are such a disappointment!" TO think that anyone would ever put up with you and your attitude should be blessed with such talents!" Ryanna frowned and turned from her. She grabbed her suitcase and began to throw in the little valuables she owned. "Oh, no you don't! You put that stuff back!" "It's mine! I paid for it and now I'm leaving!" "You will do no such thing!" "I am nineteen years old! I have a right to!" She closed her suitcase and began heading out the door.
Eighteen grabbed her arm. "You will stay here!" Ryanna was about to slap Eighteen but someone had let her arm go. "Be sure to visit sometime champ." Ryanna smiled at Krillen while Eighteen glared. Ryanna kissed the top of his head and left with Trunks not far behind her. Marron and Eighteen turned to Krillen. "Don't give me that look Eighteen. I don't know what changed you but all I can say is I hope that the woman I love comes back soon." Krillen walked out of the room. Eighteen stood there dumbfounded. Marron looked to her mother strangely then left as well. Eighteen then sunk to the floor and did something she hardly ever did... she cried.
